Testimonial Presented
Against Conviction At Parade
And Sentence
A successful appeal against his conviction and sentence was made
by Nam Keng-wu, 46, ship watchman, of 205. Des Voeux Road, West, be- fore the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr Justice E. H. Williams,, in the Appeal Court this morning.
Nam was convicted and sentenced to three years' hard labour by Mr Poon Yan-hoi för unlawful possession of a dagger on October 14 last. Following submissions by Nam's Counsel and submissions in reply by Crown Counsel, his Lordship found there was insufficient evidhee to convict and quashed the conviction.
Also appealing with Nam wan Chu Chung-fai, 32, foki, of 220, Des Voeux Road, West. Chu pleaded guilty to the offence and was sentenced by Mr. Poon also to three years. The sentence was this morning reduced to three months, his Lordship remarking that the original term was manifestly excessive.
